It's no secret that BioWare's ANTHEM has failed to garner much attention. Following an indifferent critical reception and a chain of issues, it feels like the game is pretty much dead and buried already. The developer did attempt to rekindle interest by promising some more content updates, but this didn't really make much of a dent.
Still, if you are at all interested in checking the game out, now's a good time to jump in. Over on Amazon, you can pick the maligned title up for $11.99 or £9.97. It's possibly worth a try at that price, although we can't guarantee you'll have a great time.

I'd return it if I was given it for free 😂
BioWare should change their name to ''BeWare (of EA's influence)''.
still not worth it
I value time much more than money, so I don't fancy spending any of it on Anthem.
I tried it on EA access and it's a pretty poor game, the combat is fun everything else is really bad, that hub area is so boring, there are still far too many loading screens. There was about 15 minutes when I had a lot of fun gliding and shooting, just most of the time it was dull. Oh and you can't change the screen size so it was almost unplayable on my son's TV.
Overall just a poor version of Destiny
Tesco were selling it at £15 new it's been getting lower and lower last 3 months as it first dropped to £24 then £18 and now £25, I work for Tesco and even at the time I got 20% discount (normally it's 10%) I still wouldnt buy it because it's not worth £15 I decided to get a £20 PSN card and I got the Spiderman Pass and Horizon ZD Complete edition for £18
What's the point when it's multiplayer focused and the game was dead on arrival?
Games as a service and riddled with micro transactions are not for me.
If you want to try a looter shooter you're better off getting the free-to-play version of Destiny 2.
Forget anthem make mass effect good again or bring us dragon age 4 aka the return of solas
@Octane Have you read the stories about this? This is all on Bioware, not EA.
next stop, free-to-play.
How it should with the amount of apparent microtransactions.
I wonder if it is coming to Games with Gold or Plus in the coming months it seems to be dirt cheap everywhere.
Having played 50+ hours of this and getting the Platinum I'd say it's worth it at this price. Obviously don't expect to be wowed but there is some fun to be had. And to those talking about micro transactions, tbh they aren't really prevelant in this game at all. They really are only for cosmetics and don't effect anything else. I never entered the store even once so they really aren't intrusive at all.
I still think it's £9.96 too much.
@Octane B'EAWare 🤣
I'd have to think twice if they were offering me money to take it.
@Athrum Because EA told them; ''do whatever you want, take your time, and please, no MTX this time around''?
I'm willing to believe that part was caused by BioWare, or their lack of talent which they've probably lost over the years, but all of it can be directly or indirectly blamed on EA.
What is the point of buying it at this point though? What is there fifteen people still playing this?
Anthem is the best game ever. If you don’t know how to play or your hardware is old, it’s your problem, not the game.
It should be -$18.00
It had a good campaign, but after you finished the story, end game content was terrible. But honestly this game would have been a hit if it were not for the internet. Bad reviews from everyone jumping on the hate bandwagon, some people never even played it and reviewed it badly. This article people are still throwing the hate at it. Anthem is a fun game to play, but still needs a ton of work.
